Novato’s 13 Year Old All Star team opened District 2 Babe Ruth play with a hard earned 4-2 victory over North Bay. Nolan Pelletier held North Bay to a run on three hits in his four innings of work before handling the pitching chores over to Adam Chmielewski, Tyler Sovig and Patrick Butler. Drew Treppa and Nick Corbani each had three hits and an RBI. Treppa had two long doubles and added a tumbling catch in center field. Nolan Pelletier chipped in two singles for Novato. Lars Hansen led the North Bay offense with two hits and an RBI, and J. J. Anderson doubled in a run in the sixth to bring North Bay within a run. Novato got that run back in their half of the sixth on Treppa’s long double to the left field fence, and Butler put down North Bay 1-2-3 in the seventh for the important first round win.

Justice Allred of San Anselmo, 11-year old Black Belt from Taylor’s House of Karate in San Rafael, won Grand Champion at Oakland’s Open Martial Arts Charity Challenge in the Point Fighting Division, beating out some of Northern California’s best point fighters.

The Novato Babe Ruth 13 Year Old All Stars advanced to the Championship Game Sunday at 3 PM at Sinaloa with a thrilling 5-3 victory over Sonoma Valley in eight innings. Right Fielder Nick Corbani threw out the potential winning run at the plate in the bottom of the seventh to extend the game to extra innings. Having set it up, Corbani then drove in the winning run with two outs in the top of the eighth. Starter Nolan Pelletier allowed two runs in 3 1/3 innings, and Patrick Butler gave up only a single run in 4 2/3 innings to get the win. Novato now plays the winner of a morning game Sunday between Sonoma and North Bay. Novato has advanced in the winners bracket, and must be beaten twice to be denied the title. If necessary, a deciding game will be played on Monday at 5PM at Sinaloa. The District 2 13 Year Old Champion will play next weekend in Mountain View, California
